  Which more closely resembles RL golf?  A round of all birds, eagles, etc; or a round of some of each & a bogey or two? 

  LOL.......okay i answer that.

  I'm a 15 Hcp.  hehe.   If i see a bird or two in one round i'm jumping up and down...lmao!

  Shite a bogey??   How about toss in a few doubles,,,lol  Maybe even a triple....lol.

  The game was a lot more fun when it played the same day in and day out.  Since the last downtime.. My clubs , irons and wedges do not play the same.. Over shooting the hole; coming up short.

    Pffffttt.. Totally getting burnt out on this daily gamble of a game. It plays different for everyone; So count yourself lucky if your still sticking the ball close on most shots. 

  Shots for me of late have been going where ever no matter wind or aim.. Just not fun and has become a game of guessing and WTF shots.

  Been here too long for you to tell me the game plays the same and the game play has not changed.  It plays different everyday for me.  And it just too much work of late to try and figure it out everyday.  

  The fun of the game is totally about disappeared from WGT... sadly.  Sigh.... Put the game back to the way it was and stop this changing the game play daily Bull.. 

   

  I hear ya Steve, it's  getting way out of hand. to put it short and sweet , " there's no fun in losing"  I played Winter Tour Rd. 2 practiced for days ,and no matter  what I did on certain holes could not get any closer than 10 feet . It was like it had a force field in front of the hole

  My buddy and I, both right around 7 hdcp, are playing in a tournament,standing on the t box of the long drive prize hole.Giant screen tv as a prize here.Nice. We can see the marker sitting out in the fairway about 250 yds away.Marker stuck in the ground by a piece of 1/8 in metal..........huge wide fairway........can you see where Im going with this? My partener just rips his driver.......the ball hits the ground running......should be 270......maybe 275.......WRONG!   His ball hits the spike for the marker and bounces backwards a couple yards,leaving him 2 yards short of the big screen win. We laughed. Then laughed some more.   THATS GOLF.

  Yes, not to much incentive to try and improve your game anymore when just about evry shot is a blindsided smack to the effort.

  The free balls have no dots of anything, feel, spin, distance, thats why there free, saying that i do use them quite often to mess around with, had a 28 on BPB front 9 once....once only.

  The meter is faster and sometimes erratic, and you have play your shots differently as there is less distance and more roll out, they are crap but you can have fun with them.

  I use them for CTTH, you can restart time and time again without  worrying about ball durability.

  phillyswing:

  Just a simple question really. Why when I buy balls from WGT is theswing meter as smooth as silk? But when I Play with free balls the meter givs you no Chance to make anything like a decent score.Who is Controlling the meter?

  Been here a day or two. It's all relevant to what is happening at any given time. You can shoot a 28-29 when you least expect it and then shoot a 34 the next game. Used to bother me to no end, now I could care less. This is a GAME people, please get used to it. No different than putting money into a slot machine. Enjoy your friends, have fun, shoot the $hit and relax. And by all means buy one of Frappes Holiday Candles.

  HAMINH:

  RG 9 holes 7 birdies & 4 bogeys. 18 holes 11 birs & 5 bogeys, and 4 lip out.

  With all due respect, whoever you may be; outside of the 9 hole RG apparently having 11 holes, this sounds pretty much akin to a round IRL.

  As most here would prefer the game to be as close to real life as possible, wgt seem to be getting it closer to correct IMO, regardless of the means to that end.

  Consider this please.  A player IRL, no matter their talent level, will very rarely birdie every hole or have all birdies with eagles thrown in.  One cannot honestly argue that statement's validity.

  So no matter how good one may become at this game; to retain some similarity to RL golf, how should they be able to do so here? 

  So, to sum up:  what more closely resembles real golf?  A round with all birds, & maybe an eagle or two; or a round with some birds, some pars, & maybe even, God forbid a bogey or two?      Honest answers only please.      

  Thank you for your consideration.     :-)

  I Agree with you 100%!!  This game was not set up to be in anyway like real golf in the beginning.  There are some amazing players here that have learned how to play every shot imaginable. And I applaud them for the time and effort they have put into this game!

  Now WGT wants to make it more like real golf and I AM completely okay with that!! But it will not change what we, that play often, expect when we know what shots should be perfect that aren't. And bad shots end up decent.                                                                                  

  We have to see guys shooting low 50's on Merion without ANY problems at all?? This is why I say it's getting ridiculous.  I AM NOT a great player by any means, but I AM sick of how this game reacts for me from day to day. It is crazy!!

  Birdies and Eagles (on some holes) have become expected by us all! I am guilty for sure!! So why do we need a change now? And why through in the WTH or even WTF or the WTFWGTFY shot now??  ESP when one is playing for money?

  I say the least they could do is make it where we all play under the same conditions to make whatever turny it is we are playing in fair on all levels.....

  take a pole on that how many agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then i could care less about the vem or whatever is going on.......

  Its bulls&^%t when one can enter a turny an get all tail winds on all eagle chances an the next get all head winds an yes this has been talked about before but never nothing is done ya im ranting ffs i dont much ever come in these forums due to all the BullSH&^T something needs to be done but as we know They dont give a rats a-s-s what we have to say or think.........
